QUICK TIPS
Auto Defogging System: Auto defogging is designed
to reduce the fogging up of the inside of the windshield
by automatically sensing the moisture of the inside of
the windshield. The system will automatically change to
defrost mode when needed.
Auto Defogging is set ON by default. To cancel Auto
Defogging, press and hold the Front Defrost button
for three seconds when the ignition is on (the defrost
button light will flash three times and the ADS OFF icon
will illuminate). To turn Auto Defogging on again, press
and hold the Front Defrost button again for three
seconds and the defrost button light will flash six times
and ADS OFF icon will turn off.
Driver Only Ventilation: Driver Only Ventilation restricts
air flow to the driver’s side vents only. This can help to
optimize driving range by limiting the power drawn from
the battery. Press DRIVER ONLY button to enable air flow
through the driver’s side vents only.
Defrost Outside and/or Inside Windshield:
1. Set fan speed to the highest position
2. Set temperature to Hot
